    Firstly:

    are fewer

    I was hinting, apparently in vain, that what counts is the unemployment rate. (sigh!)
    Why is the rate important to the unemployed individuals concerned?

      See if you can work this one out for yourself. You've had plenty of hints.

        In a country with a tiny population say 100,000 and 95,000 are unemployed, do you think that countries economy is sound, well by your reckoning yes because 95k is much less than 1 million unemployed in countries with larger populations, this is basic Math.

          What are lines on a map but just that when people are free to move between them for work.

          Your assuming that the ratio between the employed / economically inactive / unemployed is static and matched across countries.
          But the number of of people unemployed in Germany is nearly the same as the UK and over double that of Greece. What is your point? You are contradicting your own arguments, missing out pertinent facts and twisting things to your own warped sense of the world.

          Do some research before posting rubbish.

            Excellent, if I'm not part of a group I'm an extremist, upon which your survival is dependant. Go on, bite the hand see what happens.



            Actually my rates are quite modest and I donate loads to charity mainly the PBL Plc. (poor bankers of London).

                Yes but I am not pretending to be someone that I am not. I rip people off and I believe in biting as many hands as I can. BTW my gran is still on the market

                  Germany has a manufacturing base with which to pay the unemployed masses, the UK has postcards and cream tea. How's that going to work?
